Thanks Acidanthera for the AppleBacklight code and UnfairGVA patches in WhateverGreen.

Prerequisites

• Your system must not have a GCN 5 or RDNA AMD dGPU, as this kext will conflict with them; we are mixing AMDRadeonX5000 for GCN 5, AMDRadeonX6000 for VCN, and AMDRadeonX6000Framebuffer for DCN. Disable them using -wegnoegpu (yes, this works here too) or by adding the disable-gpu device property.
• Increase VRAM size; otherwise, the device will fail to initialise. 512MiB VRAM is the minimum, 1GiB or more for proper functionality
• Disable Legacy Boot, also known as CSM; otherwise, you will experience various difficulties, such as a kernel panic with "Failed to get VBIOS from VRAM" as the message.
• Remove WhateverGreen; this kext conflicts with it.
• Use MacBookPro16,3 or MacPro7,1 SMBIOS
• Update to latest macOS 11/12 version

Recommendations

• From this repository, add SSDT-PNLF.aml, and SSDT-ALS0.aml if you have no Ambient Light Sensor, along with SMCLightSensor.kext for backlight functionality. Usually only works on laptops. Add BrightnessKeys.kext for brightness control from the keyboard
